NNI Meetings and Events

  • 2017 U.S.-EU Workshop

    Building on the approach from the 2015 and 2016 CORs meetings in Venice and Washington DC, this years’ meeting, hosted by the University of Birmingham on behalf of the EC, will also be activity-driven. The activity will be to consider current (and future) approaches to nanosafety (nanoEHS) research in order to close the gap between research and regulation. The activity will focus on nanomaterials testing, grouping, and read-across methodologies, utilising case-studies to provide context for the discussion, focusing on if/how research data can be utilised in regulatory contexts. The workshop will utilise “clicker (polling) technology” to collect evolution of audience opinions in real-time. A workshop synthesis report will capture input from invited experts, participant remarks, and a summary of COR activities.

  • An Introduction to Remotely Accessible Instruments for Nanotechnology (RAIN) Webinar

    Learn about Remotely Accessible Instruments for Nanotechnology (RAIN), a fascinating way of engaging your middle and secondary students in the world of nanotechnology. Live from your classroom, you can directly connect to and operate nanotechnology equipment such as Scanning Electron and Atomic Force microscopes. There is no charge and you can even have your own students send in samples and operate the machines.
